Cs 50

Designed by renowned Argentinian naval architect German Frers, this sophisticated 50-footer represents a brief but notable collaboration with Canadian builder C.S. Yachts during the late 1980s. With only two years of production from 1987-1988, the CS 50 stands as a relatively rare example of Frers' distinctive approach to performance cruising design. The hull showcases classic Frers characteristics: a fin keel with spade rudder configuration that delivers excellent windward performance while maintaining reasonable comfort for extended cruising. At nearly 28,000 pounds displacement with substantial ballast, this masthead sloop offers the stability and seaworthiness expected for serious offshore sailing. The moderate comfort ratio of 29.85 suggests a design that balances performance with livability, while the favorable capsize screening number of 1.88 indicates good ocean-going capability. With 1,390 square feet of sail area driving the 49.86-foot hull, the CS 50 delivers respectable performance without being overly demanding to handle. The beam of just over 14 feet provides adequate interior volume while maintaining the sleek lines that Frers designs are celebrated for. This yacht appeals to sailors seeking a capable offshore cruiser with racing pedigree, equally suited for extended passages or competitive sailing.
